Description:
Here's a fun and simple themed swap for us! There will be 3 partners and this swap is sender's choice, according to the theme listed below! You can start preparing your parcel before partners are assigned, and you can send a package with the same contents to all 3 partners. Each partner will receive a small package with the theme "Whimsical Woodland". The package can be handmade or store-bought, but it must be completely themed! Pick out little whimsical woodland type items (e.g. deer cabochon, forest letter set, woodland stickers, mushroom handphone strap, hedgehog fabric etc) and pack it in a little package (wrapped / zipped pouch / ziploc / etc. whatever you like). The package itself must be whimsical woodland themed i.e. you can decorate the wrapper, embroider a little hedgehog on a bag etc). Value of package should be about US$3 - US$5 before mailing (including the packaging e.g. if you use a little tote as a bag that would cost $$). The idea is to send your partner something they will love and that you would yourself like to receive. And of course you can spend more if you like. To join, you will need minimum 4.7 rating, with no recent 3s or 1s. No newbies, at least 5 completed type 3 swaps. (Type 1 and 2 don't count). I will be checking profiles carefully and I will ban as I see fit. Image credit: http://warmnfuzzy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00ccff97da4a6ea500f30f5704360001.html

Hi, I can't join since I'm new but I think this is a great theme also I would like to point out that you wrote 'with no recent 3s or 5s', I thik it should be 1s.

Oops thank u! lol

Great idea for a swap! I would consider joining if we only had to send to 1 partner. 3 partners for an international package swap can get expensive.

Yes, I love the idea and theme too. But for international shipping and the amount of $ I would be spending on ONE package, then one partner would be much better. You are not likely to find a cute woodland themed bag or pouch for less than $3 and that doesn't include contents. Watching for now and hoping you change to 1 partner...

I'm joining this one! But perhaps you could also create one for the other swappers to send out to just one partner too? (Might join that one too.)

But I personally LIKE the three partner requirement for this one. :)

Cute idea, but 3 partners is a bit much for international. This will get too expensive, but maybe there will be enough ladies to do it.

Thanks for all the feedback. =) I will give it a couple of days and see how it goes, and I will at a (slightly) later stage definitely host a single partner swap - but of a bit higher dollar value. I too like the three partner requirement, that's why I've made it as such. =) My idea really was to create three similar packets, where you could spend say maybe $10 on a bunch of supplies and use them in all three packets. E.g:

3 x mushroom themed clothes pegs
3 x deer cabochons
3 x owl bookmarks
3 x tags with wooden prints
3 x small hedgehog fabric pieces
3 x bird charms
3 x woodland buttons (badges u pin on)

Small, cute items. =) Hope this helps. =)

I would like to join but 3 partners is to much for me. Intl shipping is horrificly expensive from here. Make it 2 partners and I'm in. :)

marliese 09/14/2010 #

Oh what the heck. I am in anyway. I see I only have a day left. :)

Hmmm what is the minimum package size?

Chelle 09/15/2010 #

No minimum package size, but value of package should be about US$3 - US$5.

Wrapping mine up right now! Whoohooo!
